When we launched our Women Who Travel Facebook group in June 2017, we wanted it to be a place where all self-identifying female travelers could support each other, joining in discussions about what it means to travel as a woman today. And, so far so good, if we do say so ourselves. Every day, women from around the world ask and answer travel questions—some of which come up more than others. So, in this week's episode, we brought in some of our editors to add in their voices, addressing some of the Facebook group's biggest travel concerns.

We cover a lot of ground, from how to find the best cheap flights—Fareness, AirfareWatchdog, and good ole' Google Flights are go-tos—to how to travel on your own when your partner isn't interested. Our editors also cover the easily packable (and storable) souvenirs the pick up everywhere they go, like postcards, earrings, books from local booksellers. We also cover more serious subjects, like how safe it really is to travel alone as a woman (we cover Mexico City and Paris, specifically) and whether or not you should go to a country with a poor history of women's rights.

A huge thanks to Traveler's community editor Megan Spurrell, associate city guides editor Betsy Blumenthal, and deputy digital director Laura Dannen Redman for joining us. And thanks as always to Brett Fuchs for engineering and mixing. Check back every Monday for the latest installment of Women Who Travel.
